Description
Hedera helix Golden Ripple is a common Ivy selected for its elegantly variegated foliage, moderate growth, and strong covering power. Its stems are highly branched and equipped with climbing roots that firmly attach to any smooth support. Its dense, bright, and slightly tousled vegetation creates superb cover without invading. It is a wonderful plant, ornamental all year round in the semi-shaded areas of the garden or terrace.
Ivies belong to the Araliaceae family. The genus Hedera includes about a dozen species, the most common being Hedera helix. This giant of the forest can reach tens of metres in length and climb to the top of the surrounding trees. It is the origin of many horticultural varieties often obtained through spontaneous mutations that appear on a branch.
Hedera helix 'Golden Ripple' is a sport of the variegated variety 'Goldchild'. This ivy has a modest growth as it rarely exceeds 2.60 m high and 1.10 m spread. It has a well-branched habit, developing short, brown to reddish internodes. Its leaves measure 6 to 7 cm wide and have 5 unequal and pointed lobes. The cream-yellow variegation is irregular, more or less wide on the leaf edges, on a green-grey background mixed with brighter green. The stems attach themselves to supports with powerful climbing roots. This variety does not flower.
Moderately hardy 'Yellow Ripple' ivy can withstand temperatures down to about -9°C. It prefers soils that are not too dry in summer. Maintenance consists of removing any branches with non-variegated leaves.
Hedera helix 'Golden Ripple' will fit perfectly in a contemporary or romantic garden, especially in shady areas. It will uniquely decorate a wall and be valuable for setting the scene on a terrace or balcony, trained on a small wire mesh structure or trailing in draperies along large containers, down to the ground. Combine it with easy-to-grow woodland perennials. You can also create a charming scene by planting it at the base of a tree trunk surrounded by a carpet of Caucasian forget-me-nots that bloom in spring or a tapestry of Hellebores for winter.

Planting and care
The 'Yellow Ripple' common ivy tolerates all types of soil and exposure, but it dislikes icy or scorching and arid situations. It prefers a semi-shaded position and moist, even slightly chalky soil. This variety is sensitive to severe frosts, below -9 °C. Choose a sheltered location in cold regions. Water abundantly on planting and in the following weeks. Prune regularly to give it an even shape. Remove branches that bear green, non-variegated leaves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
